ohh they have or did

but lets get real here, that was then, they rented in their or most of their greatest minds,since then their education levels have dropped to a level that as of now a child has to only scrape basic level math and English to advance to the next grade without a red flag being raised in relation to support, they only concentrate on education inwards, and as a result the favourite pass time now is either window kicking, or if you are south of a certain line gun rubbin and cousin lovin, or is that the other way round,

So and maybe up until the British folk voted in Boris the biggest difference WAS IQ, now

Well England did own parts of America until the 1700's, so surely this gives us a right to comment on anything that has happened since then. Doesn't it?

We do humour differently to Americans

The difference is best exemplified in American versions of British shows

I think (I realise much of the above is tongue in cheek) people are making bland statements fed by media and absolutely no experience whatsoever in general.

I mean, I could certainly venture onto the streets of the UK and portray a lazy,inept,self centred and uneducated population if I wanted to? But its how you choose to see things?

I never understand why people will so vehemently defend some countries cultural and diversity choices (even if they are horrendous) yet jump on uncle Sam.

You can even buy them in Walmart and other supermarket shops in USA

They insist on calling themselves American when they are in-fact United States Citizen. The term American often refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the United States is the most important country in the Americas (which is actually made up of 42 countries).

"An IQ

Yeah I mean they (as a nation) have never been involved in some of mankind's greatest achievements have they?

ohh they have or did

but lets get real here, that was then, they rented in their or most of their greatest minds,since then their education levels have dropped to a level that as of now a child has to only scrape basic level math and English to advance to the next grade without a red flag being raised in relation to support, they only concentrate on education inwards, and as a result the favourite pass time now is either window kicking, or if you are south of a certain line gun rubbin and cousin lovin, or is that the other way round,

So and maybe up until the British folk voted in Boris the biggest difference WAS IQ, now

Im not so sure,

You'd make a great Ambassador.

Winston

That maybe the greatest Compliment i ever got

Forget that the man was a grade A

AHOLE but he is still the Hero to so so many,,,

Cheers for that

That awkward moment when a joke goes over someone's head.

Americans think 100 years is a long time.

My brother is American and thought nothing of driving 90 miles to a restaurant for a meal.

Also… weather… what brits call extreme and what Americans call extreme… 2 different things!! You guys will have to watch the weather channel sometime..

For example we had a cold snap last week… in Chicago today the top temperature is 1 degree……. Fahrenheit!!! (Wind chill minus 25 by the way) you are talking 10 minute frostbite weather!!!

Religion has a much stronger influence on American society and politics than in the UK.

Americans are much more into circumcision. Over half of baby boys are cut in the first few days of their lives, which is down from about 80% in the 80s.

These are a couple of things Americans have difficulty letting go of.

I have travelled extensively in the USA.

I have found the average American (If there is such a thing) very friendly and inquisitive about the UK. They are generous and ready to help you. They generally work hard and struggle to see any benefit in "socialist" ideas.

Sadly, because of their sub-3rd World holiday from work schemes very few travel so they have a parochial view of "foreigners". They are far more religious than the UK. They have far greater entrenched views on politics and people of a different colour to themselves. They are constantly being manipulated by the politicians they elect to look after their interests.

The half-American sibling comes across as a militant political entity... I'm the one who studied politcs at British uni......That I blame on going to indoctrinating American college. Luckily the un-American part of them has decided to quit their job and travel and can I say that I'm relieved. Roll on their stays in the UK and Japan.

My meal last night cost me £10 in service charge. No idea if that goes to the staff or it’s just kept by the restaurant. It seems more common paying 12.5% in service fee. In the US it’s 20%
